food IS a theme park

We just got a new Disney Vacation Club lounge in Tomorrowland at Disneyland, and soon we’re going to see a whole tower of brand-new DVC rooms — the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. It’s been a little while since the last time we had an update on this project, and Disney just released a sneak peek of these villas that we can’t wait to show you.

Welcome back to Disney World’s Hotels!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
A lot changes at the Disney hotels every week — we recently found out that a new hotel has secret Mickey Waffles and a few resorts have added pickleball as a complimentary activity for guests! But that’s not all. Come with us to see what else has changed this week!
There is A LOT that goes into planning a Disney vacation.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make is where to stay during your vacation. We’ve got a definitive ranking of ALL the Disney World hotels, but some of them are closer to other parks, so if you’re spending most of your time in Magic Kingdom, it narrows down which may be the best for your stay. So how do you decide where to stay? Here’s our list of the BEST hotels near Magic Kingdom!
No two days are alike in Disney World — but you probably already knew that.
EPCOT
Right now, we’re in the midst of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, taking in all the sights, sounds, smells, and of course — eats! But before we know it, the Food & Wine Festival will be here. Disney is doing all sorts of preparing to make sure EPCOT is in tip-top shape, so let’s take a look at what’s new!
Waking up at the crack of dawn to buy Genie+, wrangling your family, and creating a detailed game plan for your day in Disney World is EXHAUSTING. You deserve some coffee. Between all the Starbucks locations throughout the parks and the Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea kiosks sprinkled around, you’ve got some premium options in the caffeine department.Â
We LOVE Starbucks!
Forget that watery gas station coffee — we’ve got a NEW drink recommendation for those of you that run on pixie dust and caffeine when you’re in Disney World.
Lately, it seems like every time we turn around, there’s a new price increase or exorbitant price tag attached to a Disney experience (looking at you, Galactic Starcruiser!). Just when we got used to paying extra for airport transportation, Disney made FastPasses an additional fee. Then, just when we got used to paying extra to skip the lines, Disney introduced surge pricing on its Genie+ service. It’s not cheap to visit Disney World, that’s for sure!
The Magic Kingdom can get SUPER busy around the holidays!
With all the recent price increases, we’re left wondering, if Genie+ hit $35 and sold out this spring, how high will the price go this summer? Â
There are TONS of Disney World hotels to choose from for your next stay.
Swan and Dolphin
We’re finding new merch at Disney World hotels all the time, and there’s been a lot of construction going on at these hotels as well. What’s new from this past week you may ask? We’ve got it covered!
Graceful princesses, colorful parade floats, catchy music — Disney’s Festival of Fantasy parade has it all! If you’ve ever spent an afternoon in the Magic Kingdom, you’ve likely caught at least part of this fan-favorite daytime parade. For little ones, it’s a must-see!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
If you’re planning a visit to the Magic Kingdom soon, a part of the Festival of Fantasy parade might look a little different. Let’s talk about it!
You know, there aren’t very many places where we would ENJOY being called a “foolish mortal,” but in Disney World, we take it as a compliment. What can we say — we have a soft spot for those grim-grinning ghosts in the Haunted Mansion!
Welcome, foolish mortals!
For all our Haunted Mansion fans that know the detailed backstory of the mansion and can recite the entire stretching room monologue, we’re back today to share some happy news you may have forgotten!
Sure, lunch and dinner are important meals, but is there anything better than a nice, filling brunch? Combining lunch AND breakfast? Well, whoever originally thought of that had a stroke of GENIUS. If you’re planning a late-morning visit to Disneyland, you might want to grab some brunch!
Downtown Disney
Now, there are a few places to grab brunch in Downtown Disney, like Ballast Point Brewing Co. and Tortilla Jo’s, but now there’s ANOTHER spot where you can grab a meal!Â
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
